I've just opened a ticket on Trac to add a sfWidgetFormInputText class to the 1.3 branch. The addition of this class will set text fields on the same level as password and file upload fields and allow developers to identify text fields using instanceof sfWidgetFormInputText. The current sfWidgetFormInput class would ideally become an abstract class that does not specify a type attribute, but I've left it intact for purposes of backward compatibility.
http://trac.symfony-project.org/ticket/6288 My use case involves sfViewableFormPlugin, which allows devs to globally modify view-related aspects of form objects from config/ forms.yml. This can be done based on widget class. The addition of sfWidgetFormInputText would make the following common practice very easy: widgets: sfWidgetFormInputText: attributes: class: text Please post your thoughts here or on the ticket.
